Carrick, 32, has made 325 appearances for United since joining from Tottenham for £18.6 million in 2006. His contract expires next summer, but he believes he can continue playing for several more years.

He told Sky Sports News: "I'd love to carry on playing as long as possible at this club. It's a fantastic club, I've had great times here. I feel good at the moment. I've just turned 32, so I've got a bit of time yet."

Midfielder Carrick was named last season's United Players' Player of the Year, and was also shortlisted for the PFA Player of the Year award.

He and goalkeeper David de Gea are the only players to have started United's last two games.
